Congratulations Jose! We're honored that you chose Bears Gone Fishing for your special getaway. We hope you'll always consider "Bears" your home away from home. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
The location of this property was good. There were neighbors but only a few and it was spaced out so we felt fairly isolated. So quiet with deer, elk humming birds and squirrels. It was a peaceful setting and the cabin was comfortable and beautifully equipped with all we needed. We didn’t want to leave. It is that good!

The location of the property is in a quiet area. We were able to go for morning walks and we enjoyed cooking out on the deck and relaxing in the hot tub. In the evenings, it was nice to watch the wildlife. We would most definitely return if ever in the area again!

We're so happy you enjoyed a relaxing stay with us! Come again soon!
I’ve always loved the area and wanted to get away with my special someone. This is a beautiful listing and the neighborhood is quiet and serene. We spent time in the hot tub and sitting on the porch. As well just being away from it all and being with each other. Highly recommended!

House was absolutely immaculate! Great location! We brought our two littles and they loved it as well. It was the perfect space for the four of us. We will without a doubt stay here again!

Thank you Keelin! We're so happy to hear y'all had a great time and enjoyed Bears Gone Fishing. We hope you'll be back soon!
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! We felt right at home and loved the fireplace and hot tub. The house is perfect for 2 couples as it's divided by the living room which provided nice privacy.
The views are so peaceful up there as well and we were graced with a beautiful winter wonderland during our stay which was really nice!
This cabin has really been cared for and the amenities for guests were really thought out as well. I loved the Bath and Body works soaps and the nice cozy robes, very nice touches!
We got lucky with an early check in and since there was snow, we were provided with the option for a late checkout or additional night stay which was so thoughtful!
10/10 would definitely recommend!

Wow THANK YOU Carrie! We're so happy you all felt at home and enjoyed Bears Gone Fishing! We hope you'll be back soon!
We stayed at Bears Gone Fishing during spring break with our family. The house was super clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The front and back deck were amazing to sit out on and enjoy the mountain weather with loungers and nice outdoor furniture. The front even has small heaters which were awesome. The hot tub is brand new and absolutely perfect and so relaxing. This house was the perfect amount of space for our family of 4. We really liked the location of the house from restaurants and town. We will definitely be staying there again!!
